Description

The How and The Why, by Sarah Treem

Two women, Zelda and  Rachel are both scientists working on a neglected area of genetics.  Zelda is internationally famous; Rachel is a brilliant newcomer.  Their encounters are dynamic and thought-provoking, with secrets revealed about their academic work and their personal lives.

This play is in PAW's tradition of well-written, challenging plays that are often new and/or just being discovered.

Starring Taylor Steward and Tara Kruse

Directed By Shelley Wyant
